D52 motorway (Czech: dálnice D52) is a motorway in the South Moravian Region of Czechia, currently leading from Modřice, about 7 km (4.3 mi) south of Brno, to Pohořelice, parallel to the D2 motorway. It forms part of the European road E461.
Sections of the motorway:
| Expressway section | Length | Opening | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brno – Modřice | 7 km (4.3 mi) | End of the 1970s | Not an expressway (tram track in the middle) |
| Modřice – Pohořelice | 19 km (12 mi) | 12/1996 | |
| Pohořelice – Mikulov | 22.54 km (14 mi) | c. 2028[1] | Planned |
From Pohořelice the highway 52 runs further southwards to the border with Austria at Mikulov. According to a 2009 treaty between Czechia and Austria, it is to be completed as motorway and continuous connection between Brno and the Austrian A5 North Autobahn at Drasenhofen, leading to Vienna.[2] Within the agglomeration of Brno plans for a new route intend to relocate the D52 running from the Rajhrad junction northwestwards bypassing the city centre to reach the Highway D1 and the Expressway R43 at Troubsko.[3]
Parts of the motorway were built on sections of the former Strecke 88 Autobahn constructed between 1939 and 1942 during the German occupation of Czechoslovakia as part of a connection between Breslau (Wrocław) and Vienna, colloquially called Hitlerova dálnice ("Hitler's motorway").[citation needed]
Prior to year 2016, this highway was categorised as Expressway R52 (Czech: rychlostní silnice R52).
